SpenniesExcelsior - NAC
February 25th 2007 01:27
Relegation candidate Excelsior have made biggest surprise last week. They drew with Ajax and finished 10 matches losing row. They are currently at 16th position and if they continue with performance from the last match they could easily void play – out after end of the season. Excelsior playmaker and probable best player Bruins will miss another match but they proved they could play without him in Amsterdam. Hertog and Gyan are also out injured while Voskamp, Rothman and Steur are doubtful.
NAC have won last Friday at home against Sparta 3:1. They’ve lost 6th spot yesterday as Roda won and Heerenveen drew at their matches. Now, they will search for the win to regain their position. They have efficient striker Glen Salmon who can help them to win . Arne Slot and Diba will be starters again , while recovered Penders could expect start from the bench. Tamerus , Sikora , Pinas and van den Broek are all out injured. But possible biggest problems guests could have at goalkeeper position as Edvin Zotebir and Arno van Zwam, first and second goalkeepers have flu. If they cannot be recovered before match their place will take third choice GK Bas van Vegen.
Excelsior have good chance to repeat result from the last round. They will have home field advantage and I think they could even make a win after 10 unproductive and one draw match. Excelsior will finish half of their job if they can stop best NAC striker Salmon. NAC is not team for underestimating but I believe they cannot win. So, my pick is Excelsior AH 0.25 (2.00 @ Pinnacle). Some bookies have AH 0.5 option too.
